object specifiers and coercions are two very different things.
And I merely meant to weigh in from the perspective of a recent AS
beginner who discovered the date "anomaly" on his own, through much the
same sort of experimentation I might not have undertaken if that
specific point in your book had made an indelible mark when I first
encountered it among the hundreds of other specific points you treated
me to.
I guess that's really my point: your book is as comprehensive as they
come, and as such is a phenomenal reference when one has acquired
enough knowledge to know how to frame questions to ask of it; but for
me, its most valuable section my first time through was "Conclusions,
Lessons, and Advice" (pp. 62-64).
It's really just the give a man a fish/teach a man to fish distinction
I'm trying to make.
